Golden Poppies and the Art Nouveau birdcage tiara of Queen Marie are certainly unusual, but not necklaces or bracelets worn as tiaras. Although, I suspect the poppies could be detached and worn on a necklace. Here is one of my opinions on a 'good' attempt at necklace-as-tiara. Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide is wearing a strand of pearls as a tiara/hair ornament. Modern royal ladies should try this once in a while, with the right coiffure it might look magnificent. Here is a one that I haven't decided if I think is a good or a bad. Not sure if this is a bracelet or tiara. Lovely stones, though. --Previous Message-- : Explanation please! : : --Previous Message-- : Ohhh the golden poppies! I'd forgotten these : ones. Definatelly not my favourite head : gear...
